Former News International Chief, Rebekah Brooks, was arrested by Operation Weeting officers along with her hubby, Charlie Brooks, due to suspected involvement in the News of the World phone hacking scandal.

Last we heard about the News of the World (NOTW)phone hacking scandal, it had come to our attention that the paper's editor-in-chief Rebekah Brooks gave a cell phone to a friend who was the mother of a murdered child, as a gift to "help her stay in touch with her supporters."

Then we heard that the phone was hacked by the tabloid's private investigator Glen Mulclaire, which we found to be sneaky and GROSS!

When little 8-year-old Sarah Payne was abducted and murdered, her mother found a friend in News of the World.

Literally.

She and the paper's editor-in-chief, Rebekah Brooks, became super close during the investigation.
So close, Brooks presented Sara Payne with a token of her friendship - a cell phone "to help her stay in touch with her supporters."

Ooooh no.

Yep, you guessed it. Evidence has apparently been found showing the phone was hacked by Glen Mulclaire, a private investigator for the tabloid.

Last we heard about the News of the World phone hacking scandal, the former editor of the publication Rebekah Brooks was arrested on charges of conspiracy and bribing police for information…but was released early Monday morning.

Now, we're very sad to report that Sean Hoare, a former NOTW employee who was one of the first to blow the whistle on the scandal, has been found dead.

Hoare "was discovered at his home in Watford, Hertfordshire, after concerns were raised about his whereabouts."

Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks is the sixth and highest-ranked person to be arrested over the weekend over her role in the paper's phone hacking scandal. She's been accused of charges of conspiracy and bribing police for information.

She began working at the paper in 2000.

Her stay behind bars didn't last long as she was released on bail early Monday morning London time and is set to return in October.

Seems like each one involved in the scandal is going down one by one. We hope they get what's due to them.
